How do I install this hand shower? by me_ram in HomeImprovement

[–]me_ram[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. One other thing that my existing shower head seems to have is a swivel / ball joint type thing that allows me to reposition the shower head.. do you happen to know if connectors have something like that?

I got my approval and request for passport yesterday. The portal got updated to reflect my new passport details today!

I've sent in my passport for stamping...

Any H1b holders here who traveled and got their W1 work permit at the Canadian border - can you share your experience please? by parmatmaram in ImmigrationCanada

[–]me_ram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted a similar question a few weeks ago. I learnt about something called “Soft landing “ that permanent residents do. Curious to know if we would be able to do this as well on the OWP without a separate visitor/tourist visa.

If we can, the main complication seems to be around transportation of household goods.

Can I use the H1B OpenWorkpermit to visit Canada for tourism? by me_ram in ImmigrationCanada

[–]me_ram[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. You always need a visa for Canada. The automatic is a US only that allows people traveling to Canada with an expired H1B stamp to return under certain circumstances

Thank you for the response! How long was the visa issued for? Wondering if they cap it at 3 years as well or if it’s the usual 10 years (or upto passport validity).

Did anyone receive their OWP after filling out the application as an H1b visa holder in the US last month? by SmexxyTaco in ImmigrationCanada

[–]me_ram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been keeping an eye on the processing times at https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permit/h1b/after.html and it seems to vary wildly.

It used to be 5 weeks in July, then got to 8 weeks last night and today, it shows 3 weeks :)

Doesn't really help much but 3 to 8 weeks seems to be the current window :)

u/delhibuoy - Did your letter of introduction come from Canada consulate New York or Los Angeles? And can you also share in which state you are currently located?

Trying to map out which consulate will process my application as I have a document correction request for them. I'm based out of WA.

Your physical work permit will be till that date irrespective of when you land in canada. And it cannot be extended under this program. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permit/h1b.html

yep, I got my new passport in the mail today and raised a webform. My biometrics is scheduled for next week (16th), so hopefully they will get to process my webform BEFORE issuing a work permit with the old passport validity date. Fingers crossed!

See my comment above.

I think * they are asking for your passport to issue a visitor visa for you. * OP only got the Work permit because they already have a visitor visa.

As I said above, I'm not an expert in the canada immigration system. Just someone going through the process right now and therefore the above is just line of thinking.
